Today's update

I got to my appointment today.  Did the usual pee on a stick.  I noticed some pink/brown discharge.  I mentioned it to the nurse when she did my intake.  I made another pit stop after seeing the nurse and there was nothing there.  I wondered if I imagined it.

I finally got back into a room and the Doc got called out to do a delivery.  He wasn't that long but there was still someone ahead of me.

We had a long chat (he had to explain some stuff to the med student).  He changed my EDD to October 20. We discussed how the pregnancy would progress.  I told him I had seen the MFM for a pre-preg consult and had an appointment on April 11.  His opinion seemed to be a little different from when I saw him Feb 2010.  He was more on the fence about cerclage and admitted that the way I lost Gavin was extremely suspicious of IC.  He agreed that the watch and wait was probably still the way to go but to make sure to be seen every week for cl scans.  He said that if the cl gets to 2cm that would be enough for him to place a cerclage...where the peri I saw says 1.5cm.  1.5 is WAY to short for my liking.  Things happened SO fast with Gavin.

So the plan is to do vaginal and urine cultures with every appointment.  This is where the bad part of the appointment started.  He put the spec in and say oh there is some brown discharge.  I won't irritate the cervix today.  He knows I am concerned about miscarriage.  He actually said well it's easier in the first trimester than the second.  I've btdt for both and don't want to do EITHER again! When he finished up and we said so long I got up from the table and used the paper sheet to clean up and saw some dark blood.   The spec was on the top of the garbage and had blood on it.

So needless to say I am very concerned and am not feeling very optimistic.  When we got home I checked things out and it's just brown on the tp but I am still worried.  I see my RE tomorrow for an ultrasound.  We will know for sure if this pregnancy will proceed or not.
